Add a checkbox to change between use or not use Regex search

Hello! First of all, thanks for your work, it's amazing how great is this!

Well, now to my question:

Actually I have a table with 5 colums, and I want to make a checkbox for actvate or deactivate the regex filter.

I want to add a checkbox to change between "use regex" or don't use regex.

I've tried some things, but I think I'm doing the things wrong..

            var regexOn = false;
            
        $(document).ready(function() {
        
            $('#helppageTitles').DataTable( {
                "paging":       false,
                "info":         true,
                "autoWidth":    true,
                //"stateSave":  true,
                "order": [[ 2, "desc" ]],
                "columns": [    
                    { },
                    {
                        "caseInsensitive":  true
                    },
                    { "searchable": false },   
                    { 
                        "orderable": false,
                        "searchable": false
                    },  
                    { 
                        "orderable": false,
                        "searchable": false
                    }  
                ]
                "search": {   
                "smart":            false,
                "caseInsensitive":  regexOn,
                "regex":            regexOn
                }
            } );
        });

This is what I actually have.. any ideas?

Regards!

Thanks you!
